After researching what changes I could make to make my designs more accessible, \u00a0I designed these poster sets with features to help students with autism, ADHD, dyslexia and other learning difficulties.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3928\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lottamagazine.com\/newsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/learning_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1005\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lottamagazine.com\/newsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/learning_1.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.lottamagazine.com\/newsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/learning_1-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lottamagazine.com\/newsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/learning_1-1024x686.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lottamagazine.com\/newsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/learning_1-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lottamagazine.com\/newsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/learning_1-800x536.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The new famous artist and famous scientist poster sets have some subtle but important changes to make them more accessible and useful to neurodivergent people.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The font used has good legibility, is sans serif, has basic recognisable letterforms and has added tracking (space between letters) to help dyslexics.<\/li>\n<li>Font size is larger on this poster series. There is also extra line spacing.<\/li>\n<li>A softer, more muted pastel colour scheme which is often preferred by those with ADHD and learning disabilities as they are less triggering and distracting.<\/li>\n<li>Lighter background colours for those with hypersensitivity to color.<\/li>\n<li>The backgrounds are not white as that can be distracting or cause symptoms for some and make legibility difficult for others.<\/li>\n<li>Good contrast levels between the background and the text.<\/li>\n<li>All the posters have a clear visual hierarchy to aid comprehension for everyone. There is also consistency in the design layout throughout all the posters.<\/li>\n<li>I have checked the designs through a colour-blindness simulator to make sure that none of the important details are lost with different types of colour-blindness.<\/li>\n<li>As with all the posters in this series the information is presented in clear, bite size chunks and the badges act as a memory prompt and help visual learners.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can find all the pastel posters here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lottamagazine.com\/newsite\/product-category\/autismadhd\/\">Lotta Website<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.teacherspayteachers.com\/store\/lotta?search=pastel\">Teachers Pay Teachers<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Please let me know if there are any further changes that I can make to support everyone&#8217;s needs.
